Athletes dedicated: Nokia Sports Tracker Beta
Recently, an interesting program for Nokia phones with Symbian S60 OS — an electronic diary of the Nokia Sports Tracker workout tracker — caught my eye. There is a long weekend ahead, sunny weather, and I decided to try it out.
The idea of the program, of course, is not new - with the help of a built-in or external GPS receiver to track the movement of the phone in space, record speed, travel time and track, and on the basis of this data, build various kinds of statistics. But I have never heard of its implementations for Symbian S60 (by the way, if there are any, give the references in the comments, please).

Get SportsTracker possible at the office. site . Choose a phone model, agree with EUSA and download sisx (no registration is required).
After installation, the first thing to do is to configure the user settings for yourself. To do this, I went to the Settings -> Users menu, renamed the existing account and entered my anthropometric data (age, body weight, height). Can I add another user there, remains a mystery to me - it seems that it does not, at least I did not understand how to do it.
This is all, you can start training! I arrive at the site, launch the program and press New Workout, i.e. start recording track. Immediately invited to choose the type of training. The program includes several types of classes:
All of them differ in parameters - in what form to display the speed, whether the auto pause is active (ie, temporarily disabling the recording of information at a speed of, say, less than 1 km / h), and so on. Yes, it’s just convenient to divide by type, what kind activity is now being performed.
After the end of the workout, a record of the new activity appears in the calendar, and there is an opportunity to upload information about it to the spec. service located at the office. site. To do this, you need to register an account (or use an existing Nokia Ovi account), enter your username, password and internet access point on your phone. In this case, you can set the scope of the track - "no one", "friends" or "all". Who cares - here are links to 2 of my workouts: here and here . You can view the schedule of traffic superimposed on Google Maps track, time, etc.
In addition, you can associate media resources with any record. For example, they photographed something interesting, or filmed it - you upload it to the service. If the metadata contains location coordinates, the service will automatically place a tag on the map. If not, you can always do it manually.
At the office. site built a whole social. SportsTracker user network. True, while the site and the client do not have Russian localization. However, the official status of the product is Beta, and in the future the functionality will probably be expanded and localized more deeply.
We can safely recommend the software to all amateur athletes - for example, I finally found out relatively accurately how long my favorite routes are in the local “green zone”. Press a couple of buttons at the start and finish of the work will not be, but then you can with interest to watch the statistics. And share your results through the online part. In general, the implementation of the service was very decent!
PS I deliberately did not give here a bunch of screenshots and descriptions - for all those interested I can recommend the FAQ and user manual . They contain an exhaustive description, but in English.
